Save a Custom Form Online

Hi All,

I have a custom form. It has Outlook To Field, couple of edit boxes and
coulple of combo boxes. I also have my own Send Button, which sends this
message in a custom fashion. IS it possible that These form(s) can be
saved in Outlook Outbox/Drafts folder when Outlook is Offline and get
awakened when Outlook mode changes back to Online ? And then user can
send those custom form based Messages ?

Any help Appreciated.
Regards
Khan

I'm a little confused about whether you're trying to save forms -- i.e.
templates used to create new messages -- or items, the new messages
themselves. If you want to save items as drafts, just save them instead of
sending them. The user would then need to send them either manually or
programmatically. Outlook won't send a draft by itself.

Hi,

** I am saving Items not templates

Let me Explain. I have a custom form based on Note Message Class. Let us
name it IPM.Note.test. Here is what i want to achieve

1- There is a Push button on the form. I want that when this button is
clicked, my form with its message class and values in form controls
[controls include combo boxes] are saved with it to Outbox Folder.

2- I have overwritten the Send Event using Item_Send event and cancelled
the default Send event at end of this function. What i want is when i
press Send/Receive button - The My Saved Items should execute the custom
code i have written behind Send Event.

Thanks in Advance
Regards
Khan

This is not possible. If you cancel Item_Send completely and just save the
item, the item will never be delivered and will just sit in a folder
forever. There's nothing in Outlook that would run your code behind the
item's form when a normal send/receive session takes place.

I think you need to rethink your application design.
